Title: Stupid Netflix Ad
Post by: Conan71 on February 04, 2008, 04:48:19 PM
Does anyone else use the new version of Yahoo mail with the annoying ad pane on the right side of the email in/out box?

The Netflix ad with the corpse looking guys is getting old.  It's one of those ads that makes me want to never do business with them.  Yeah, I get they are made up decaying corpses not real zombies, but it's old, annoying, and well- gross.

Yahoo Mail isnt that bad...
However, I was going to admonish him more for seeing ads on the net.
This <insert website> brought to you by our sponsors: blank screen.

I'm a moocher.

Yeah I know I'm a troglodyte.  I've had my personal email address for years, I guess I'm just comfortable with it and there are slightly similar features in the new Yahoo mail to Outlook.  I'm too cheap to pay up for ad-free email.

I think Yahoo mail is very good..
especially if you remove those annoying ads.

If you use firefox install the GreaseMonkey plugin (//%22https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748%22).
then use this GreaseMonkey script (//%22http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3115%22)
tada, no more ad panes

Unfortunately, my computer didn't seem to like Firefox, maybe I need to re-think that.  IE7 has greatly under-whelmed me and it's slower than IE6.

In case you haven't figured out, I use a computer a lot but I'm not much of a geek, well at least not about computers.[;)]

Gmail is better IMHO. Plus no "premium" version that wants your money.

Ad Muncher (//%22http://admuncher.com/%22)is great at removing ads when you need to switch between 2 or 3 web browsers and have ads gone in all of them with no fuss.

Gmail all the way...everything works, all the time.

You should give it a try.

I still have my yahoo email, I just use Gmail to check all my email address (I have 5).  So I have only one inbox with all me emails from way back.  Pretty nice.  I also love the docs feature.  I love being able to back up my docs on google's tab.  :)

Best of luck.
